Goossensia is a fungal genus in the family Cantharellaceae. It is a monotypic genus, and contains one species, Goossensia cibarioides, found in the Congo. The genus was circumscribed by the Belgian mycologist Paul Heinemann in 1958.[1]

G. cibarioides is a bright yellow-orange mushroom that somewhat resembles the Fragrant Chanterelle (Cantharellus odoratus), but has a very watery stipe. It is edible.[1]
